Kim and I are stilling pulling together some last-minute pieces of gear from the list below, mainly apparel for the cooler temps. We’ve been able to get outside for some real training on our bikes the last couple weeks. Temperature’s have been in the 40’s and we’re trying to document the right apparel aligned with the temperature. We’ll likely have many opportunities to ride in the rain, but we’re trying to avoid the real deal up to now. I’ll throw up a blog on our training later.
